Dear Brutus,
I have heard that Cassius is attempting to convince you to join a conspiracy to kill Caesar. Because I am a citizen I know that the other people of Rome love Caesar and want him as their ruler. So let me, as your friend, try to persuade you to not help in the malicious plot to murder Caesar.
The conspiracy was not created because Cassius fears for Rome and what Caesar will make of it but because Cassius and the others are jealous of Caesars power. Recently I heard Cassius say “did I the tired Caesar- and this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” (1.2.115-118). Cassius wants you involved with the murder to convince Rome that Caesar has ambitious intentions and is not the leader that the city deserves. Because of your good name Cassius’ plan to assassinate Caesar will not be seen as a murder but as a service to the city. Driven by his own avarice, Cassius is using you to further his career in Rome.
If you participate in Cassius’ plot to kill Caesar you will be betraying a good friend. I see at the time of Caesars death the only words that come to him is, “et tu, brute!” (3.1.74). Caesar sees you as his greatest friend and one of very few people he can trust in a sea of enemies. By betraying Caesar you will be ruining your honorable name and the citizens of Rome will no longer trust you.
As a friend of Caesar you know that he is a fair and generous ruler. His will shall prove that he cares for the people of Rome, “Here is the will and under

Julius Caesar
Who was the un-crowned emperor in the history of Rome? Well, Julius Caesar of course! Caesar is one of the most controversial characters of history; the people that are for him see him as a defender of the rights of the people against an oligarchy. The people against him see him as an ambitious troublemaker, who forced his way to dictatorial power and destroyed the republic. In my opinion Julius Caesar was an efficient leader until the day he was assassinated in March 15, 44 BC

In the “Julius Caesar”, Caesar was a heroic person; he got the respect of the Romans, and hoped that he would become king. Brutus had a great heart, but he listened to the villains and did not have a firm hand. Eventually, he joined the rebels, and finally there was no way out for him but only to let his servant to kill him.
Caesar is a person worthy of respect, and perhaps he is a more appropriate leader. In the opening of the play, his love for the people can be clearly seen. Anthony
